Thank you WooHooWahine and Soccer Tiki for the best of all the events. We drove 800 miles to attend and it was WORTH IT!

Cheers, Wendy

We found that there is so much excitement, adrenaline and good cheer going on at Marketplace that you need to go to every booth a dozen times or you will miss something. Right near the end we spotted Skootikis wonderful carving and jumped on it for Dan's collection. We never have the backseats in the PT cruiser just in case we find a large tiki to haul home. We did. Thank you Skootiki for this wonderful addition to our home.

Another great marketplace. We even had a few rain drops on the inside, but the vibe was great! It was nice to everyone in a festive spirit. Sales were great. Thank to all guys who bought lamps. Chris & Karen, Thanks again for all the hard work you do. A big Thank You the DTB staff, they are always there with Our food & drink orders. We'll see everyone at the next one, it will be the 2 year anniversary. WooHoo!!!

What a wonderful return to Tikiland for me! All my friends, all the goodies - and all that in one of the most authentic Tiki environs left in Southern California!
Where else do can you see a classic Hapa Haole band like the Smokin Menehunes against the back drop of a functioning indoor waterfall (one of TWO!) festooned with a Milan Guanko Tiki?

Mahalo to all of you that came out to make the International TIKI Market Place so fun and successful! Karen and I enjoy so much seeing so many familiar faces and getting meet so many new friends! After all, this is what it is all about...Friends, Fun, and Good Times!

We had people come from as far away as Spain and Tahiti! (Not to mention our Northern California Ohana and friends from afar-like our jet-lagged friend from Germany!) And with comments like; "What a great turnout" & "So much talent under one roof" & "What a great variety of new and vintage stuff" & "Good times yesterday!" & "We drove 800 miles to attend and it was WORTH IT!" & "Another great marketplace" it really makes us feel like we're doing something right!

Thank you to our Sponsor Deadhead Rum and to Delia, owner of Don the Beachcomber. A very big "Mahalo" to our entertainment from The Smokin' Menehunes, Kimo and His Hawaiian Steel, Richard Knight on his slack-keyed guitar to Emmett Hadley and his One-Man Olde-Tyme Christmas Band!

Thank you Vendors once again for bringing your "A-game" and your wonderful works of art, products and collectibles to share with the customers! I am really amazed at how the vending keeps getting better and better! You all are fantastic!

At this point I want to say THANK YOU to Karen, my beautiful wahine and partner in this and all of life's adventures! AND.....Get ready for the next ITMP as it will be marking our...wait for it..........2nd ANNIVERSARY!!!!! WoooHooooooooo!

Wow! We've got a tremendous list of Vendors and Entertainment lined up for our 2nd Anniversary on Saturday January 25th! Over 40 vendors and an added musical attraction! Lineups and lists out tomorrow! This will be an event you don't want to miss! I know your friends will be there! Cheers!
